Abstract excerpt
The introduction of pesticide resistance-inducing mutations into target genes would in theory protect honey bees from the hazardous effects of pesticides. In this paper, to screen amino acid substitutions conferring resistance to organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides, honey bee acetylcholinesterase 2 (AmAChE2) variants with several mutations (V260L, A316S, G342A, G342V, F407Y, and G342V/F407Y) were...
